I Stopped Being the Good Guy

Intro

Verse 1 Held the door for the same damn men who slammed it Turned the cheek 'til my whole face went numb Prayed for the bastards that God should've damned, and Caught a knife in the back for the trouble I'd become So I hung up the halo, let the thing rust Melted down the better man I tried to be The good guy died — didn't go with a fuss Just looked in the mirror and set himself free

Chorus I stopped being the good guy Somewhere 'round the tenth time that they lied Turned the other cheek 'til I ran out of sides Now the good guy's who they had to bury alive

Verse 2 Nice gets you a grave nobody visits Kind gets you used up, then thrown in the ditch I gave 'til givin' damn near killed me — is it Any wonder I came back up a colder son of a bitch

Chorus I stopped being the good guy Somewhere 'round the tenth time that they lied Turned the other cheek 'til I ran out of sides Now the good guy's who they had to bury alive

Bridge Don't come cryin' 'bout the man I turned into You built him, brick by broken promise, you Wanted teeth? Well, here's the whole damn bite The good guy's gone — you're dealin' with what's left tonight I stopped being the good guy Somewhere 'round the tenth time that they lied Turned the other cheek 'til I ran out of sides Now the good guy's who they had to bury alive

Outro Buried him myself. Slept fine.
